Researchers in many fields are recognizing that the systems they study often exhibit a type of time evolution known as CHAOS. Its hallmark is wild, unpredictable behavior, a state often unwelcome to those who encounter it.
Recently scientists have realized that chaos can actually be advantageous in many situations and that when it is unavoidably present, it can often be controlled to obtain desired results.
When working with ceramics, the artist also has to deal with the unpredictability and capriciousness of the material. A ceramic artist must rely on his skills, knowledge and experience in order to achieve the desired result, so that, finally, by opening the cooled kiln, the artist can get an artwork out of it and feel its warmth.
In this Sculpture “Controlling Chaos” I mixed clay with other material, such as metal wire, before being fired.
«Controlling Chaos” is a kind of philosophical puzzle, an incentive for reflection and meditation.
From the top of the sculpture protrude two metal cables with black cubes at the ends. Their position can be changed depending on the desire and mood of the beholder.
